Tunnel racers I have to first inform you that the Storm 3 race in Savannah will not take place this year. Due to low water levels it would a mud bog race. Mark Poole was working to put on the race but without water we are out of business this year. With input from quite a few people we are going to go on with the series with just 3 races this year. Bracelet Champions will now be determined on a best 2 out of 3 races to be fair to everyone. Brandon #1 and Charleston were very competative fields and #4 in Brandon should be very competative again. We discussed another site such as Charleston but with short notice again not an option this year. Last year SOWEGA stepped up and we kind of overwhelmed their Gran Prix race. A stand alone race there they could not do this year also due to water level there. It would cost too much to pump water in their pond in September. So we will make the best of this year and plan again next year.
That brings us to the Brandon Tri-Oval race in November (19-20) last Tunnel only event of 2011 and should bring out all the guns in Florida. If you want warm weather and great tunnel water travel on down and race with us. You won't be disappointed in the level of competition. This is a drivers race with 3 distinct different turns. Turn one 5 pins, 1 pin midcourse and a three pin tight turn to the finish line.
21 Mod and Stock - 45 Mod and Outlaw stock - Mod VP (beach start)- Spec FE and Open FE - Open tunnel and Gas tunnel - OB Hydro?? http://www.rcracingevents.com/cgi-bin/browseraces.pl
Saturday open water and 2 lap timming for local records. One heat Saturday afternoon and the remaining heats on Sunday with one dropped score so you could just race Sunday and still be in the points. Number of heats determined by turnout but at least 4 rounds total. 6 possible if we push. Namba sanction but with the Tri-oval course, cutting a bouy we will deduct points rather than impose a one lap penalty.
Make your late fall plans and come on down. Sign up early as payment isn't due till the race, but would be nice to see who is game on. The robots are watching and may reapear at any time. :unsure:
